Top Gear: In eleven years at the company you’ve met a huge number of your customers, can you tell us what a typical Lamborghini owner is like?

Stephan Winkleman: It seems very superficial, but it’s really male. Usually, they’re all self-made men – ranging from those in the 20s right up to men in their 70s. They’re very proud of their product, and they have no fear to be seen in a car like this.

And when I speak to them, I feel that they buy into a world, not only into a product. So it’s also a lifestyle, an idea they see behind that. And they enjoy the car as something that is rewarding them for the hard work they’re doing, or a dream that came true after, say, saving for 20 years.

I don't really care what he does, more power to him I suppose - it affects me NONE and I don't follow tabloids - HOWEVER the one thought that has replayed in my mind several times since hearing about all this (not sure why either...) is:

Isn't it AWFUL late in his life to be declaring this?!? I mean, if that's what he so desires, great, but he's probably not going to be able to "enjoy" it very long! He's 65 if I recall correctly, and maybe I'm missing the point, but it seems like he has "limited" himself to enjoyment time of this new "person" compared to if he'd done it, say, at 40 years old....Who else agrees??

It's just so late in life it almost seems senseless to me, unless for publicity and possibly raise awareness. Just my poor 2cents I guess!
